Reach SK 2019

March 22 & 23, 2019 Elim Church, Saskatoon, SK

The Reach SK Conference is a collective of churches coming together with the sole purpose of seeing the province of Saskatchewan reached with the Gospel of Jesus. We have the vision of seeing every rural municipality, town and city in Saskatchewan transformed by the Gospel so that the Church will unselfishly take up the call to make disciples and reach the nations.

We are excited to gather with you to hear teaching from experienced and new practitioners who are being used by God to renew the Church and call us back to the mission of God. We cannot wait to see what God will do as the name and fame of Jesus spreads across Saskatchewan.

Who

We are a collective of churches, ministries and denominations that desire people from all across Saskatchewan to experience Jesus in every aspect of their lives and to see the Gospel spread across our great province. Reach SK is for church leaders, front-line workers and any other strategic leader in your particular context.

Why

This isn’t about one church, one denomination, or one network, but the whole Church in Saskatchewan coming together around King Jesus with one common mission, to reach Saskatchewan with the Gospel.

How

We want to reach Saskatchewan through church renewal, church planting, celebrating and helping to equip the Church in both rural and urban settings. We want to make disciples who make disciples in every aspect of life.

This vision will require new churches.This vision will require church renewal.This vision will require disciples making disciples.This vision will require you.
